We ventured over to friends’ house and felt like heroes when we made it down the block.

His latest effort was a spectacular long-range effort, which went in off the bar, to give Man Utd a 2-1 lead against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The Gunners equalised through Mikel Merino near the end of the match but another stunning strike, this time from Matheus…

Isak agitated for his dream move, chipped away at his previously unblemished reputation and impacted his career, at…
